ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)
Actor Danny DeVito pumped up the crowd in Brooklyn's Prospect Park with a stump speech for Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, who had just returned from a visit to the Vatican.
"I'm so happy to be here," Devito said. "And you know why we're here? Because we feel the Bern!"
"I just hugged a man who shook the hand of the Pope," he added, referring to Sanders himself.
Sanders visited with Pope Francis during his visit to the Vatican the day before, in a meeting the pontiff insists was not political.
Local media and campaign organizers said some 28,000 people turned out for the campaign rally, just before the state's nominating contest on Tuesday.
